That really s u c k s Thomas :evil: I hope the moderators read this and can reinstate your original ID and restore the counter to what it was. We get so used to certain members by what their known as, then all of a sudden you have to change? That's not right. It's bad enough that some of the "everyday language" gets banned or as the program automatically changes it to (removed). Good luck .........

Just saw your signature in another thread. That sucks :(. I'm sure the moderators will make it right for you though. It was probably just some sort of glitch as I can't imagine that you, or any of the other regulars on here, would do anything that would warrant being banned permanently.

BTW... have you received the muffler tip yet?

I honestly have no idea -- I'm going to guess it was probably a mistake that happened when someone was trying to ban spammers. I will look.

It was tagged as a spam ban, so I'm going to guess it was a mistake unless someone tells me otherwise. I unbanned you though. :)

I told you it was probably a mistake and the mods would take care of it for you ;).

trb is definitely not a spammer :lol:.

Thanks Kari! I use the trbstang name on all some of my Mustang websites, but decided to just use my initials on here since they were available. I'll go back to my old name now! :D

Welcome back trb!

Did you get the muffler tip yet? Just wanting to make sure it arrived safely since I haven't heard from you.

:D Yes, I did! Thanks!!! Got it Thursday, and was planning to get it tack welded on this weekend, but ran out of time with basketball games, work, running errands, buying furniture, taking my daughter and her boyfriend out for dinner.......... it was a busy weekend.

I did "mock" it up, and I never realized how sad the little stub of an exhaust pipe I current have looks, until I saw the chrome tip on it. My exhaust is about 1/2" narrower than the pipe in the tip as it slid right on with plenty of extra room. I guess that means my muffler has more restriction than stock. :( I can't wait until I can get it installed, hopefully one day this week. I'll post pics of course! Thanks again!

Seems like this may have happened to me, too.

Would a Moderator please be so kind as to reinstate 'ehoff121'?

Thanks!
